Do not agree! if you refuse debates this means you are not willing to put your statements to scrutiny. It means you are not seeking the truth, but ultimately trying to win an argument and those two things are very different. For example RFK Jr is openly saying - show me the convincing arguments why the vaccines are safe and effective, and if those arguments are solid then I am willing to accept it. It's how it should work! We have certain believes and ideas, but we can update them when presented with new information. That's the opposite of being an ideological shill.
Debating is not one and done either: you lose a debate and then you are either convinced by the argument of the other side or make a new case and put it forward. Next time you'll try to do it better. Refusing to debate is an absolute no go - you lose credibility altogether. it's like proclaiming you are the fastest man in the world but refuse to run in a competition.
